2026 Isuzu D-MAX Pickup is finally here, and it’s turning heads with its fresh updates. This popular pickup truck gets a bolder look and smarter features, making it even tougher for work or adventures. Isuzu keeps building on what fans love – reliability and strength – while adding modern touches.
Bold New Exterior
Up front, the D-MAX has a wider grille and sharper LED headlights that give it a mean, ready-for-anything stance. The body lines are more muscular, with bigger wheel arches and high ground clearance perfect for off-road trails. You can pick from single cab, extended, or crew cab styles to fit your needs.
Powerful Engine Options
Under the hood, the big news is the new 2.2-liter turbo-diesel engine replacing the old 1.9-liter. It puts out around 163 horsepower and a strong 295 lb-ft of torque – plenty for towing heavy loads. Higher trims still offer the proven 3.0-liter diesel with even more grunt. Both pair with smooth automatics for easy driving.
Tech and Comfort Inside
The cabin feels more modern now. There’s a bigger touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Voice controls let you adjust things hands-free. Safety gets a boost with better cameras, lane assist, and emergency braking. It’s quieter too, great for long hauls.
Mileage That Saves Money
Expect solid fuel efficiency from the diesels. The 2.2-liter sips around 8-9 liters per 100 km in mixed driving, better on highways. Real-world tests show it can hit even lower numbers, keeping costs down without losing power.
Pricing and Availability
In the US market, base models start near $35,000 for a basic 4×2. Loaded 4×4 crew cabs with all the tech run $45,000 to $50,000. It’s competitive against trucks like the Ranger or Tacoma. An electric version is coming soon for those wanting zero emissions.
